No,
last week was not a dream. Trump really is flouting the institutions and
norms of our democracy as much as it seems like he is: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/333263-dan-rather-blasts-trumps-willful-disregard-for-the-rule-of-law?amp
Please keep up your connection with your MoC – particularly if they are
Republicans – and reach out to allies with Republican MoC to ask them to
engage their reps about the seriousness of the many issues on the table:
Trump retaining Flynn for 18 days after being warned about him by Yates,
Trump firing Comey for suspect and then eventually blatantly scary
reasons, Trump threatening Comey on Twitter, etc.

The Dakota Access Pipeline
has already encountered its first spill, and it happened weeks ago. While
the spill was contained and was relatively small, it is concerning that
this is par for the course with pipelines http://bit.ly/2qtFaikMeanwhile, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's Earth Justice
attorneys have filed a motion for summary judgement to halt construction
of DAPL: http://earthjustice.org/features/faq-standing-rock-litigationLet's contact our MoC and tell them we support moving away
from pipelines, towards renewable energy. We can also keep divesting away
from banks that are funding DAPL: http://www.defunddapl.org/

-An ideological—or at least
a pragmatic—consensus on the need for an overhaul of mandatory minimum
sentencing laws, involving liberal Center for American Progress,
consevative FreedomWorks, and Koch Industries, was reached prior to the
2016 elections. Bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate in
favor of reducing mandatory minimum sentences were thwarted by
then-Senator Jeff Sessions, Tom Cotton (AK) and David Perdue (GA) among
others: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/14/us/politics/jeff-sessions-criminal-sentencing.html Given AG Sessions
current commitment to withdrawing discretionary sentencing and ordering
prosecutors to seek maximum penalties, we need to tell our senators to
work to restore the consensus blocked by some of their colleagues.

Letters
to the Editor are a great way to publicize concerns and get our MoC's
attention. UltraViolet is asking us to write a Letter to the Editor
regarding our concerns over the AHCA and potential changes to our
healthcare, then they will submit the letter on our behalf: http://bit.ly/2pKCwAR

Beyond
the Moment will be hosting a tele conference onTuesday, May 16th. Beyond May Day will
focus on ways we can help pass policy at local and state levels to create sanctuary
for all. This teleconference is accompanied by a Freedom and Sanctuary for
All toolkit. Let's register for the phone call and check out the
toolkit: http://bit.ly/2rehryZ

The
Center for American Progress (https://www.americanprogress.org/) has created The Moscow Project,
which works towards discovering, vetting, and publishing each of Trump's
ties to Russia. The Moscow Project crowd sources their research; each
person who wishes to participate can submit credible sources which help to
support or disprove various pieces of information from the Steele Dossier.
We can also use the Moscow Project as a tool to better understand the
timeline of Trump's relations with Russia, as well as to see who is
involved: https://www.themoscowproject.org/index.html

On Mother’s Day, the
Women’s March organizers launched a “Daring Discussions” campaign. "The Civil War was the first time this
country battled with the sin of slavery. During that time, mothers came
together to try and heal the nation," speakers in the video say.
"These mothers believed that people who held opposing views had to
speak to one another. They had faith that these discussions would reunite
their communities."http://www.teenvogue.com/story/womens-march-daring-discussions-campaign-mothers-day Let’s click here and find out how we
can be part of the effort: http://daringdiscussions.com/

The
Pac-12 athletic conference will be hosted in North Carolina, even though
the state has passed hateful legislation against the LGBTQ community.
Let's make sure that the student athletes in the Pac-12 conference are
traveling to a state that does not endanger them. CREDO Action has a
petition addressed to the Pac-12 commissioner that we can sign: http://bit.ly/2rfhviwWe can also contact the Pac-12
office: (415) 580-4200

From Lawyers for Good
Government: We, the nearly
130,000 members of Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), believe that
President Trump’s dismissal of FBI Director James Comey on May 9, 2017
raises critical concerns about the integrity of our government and the
independence of our justice system.http://www.lawyersforgoodgovernment.org/…/l4gg-demands-a-sw…. For the reasons outlined
below (and particularly in light of the connections documented here
between President Trump, his advisors, and Russia:http://timeline.lawyersforgoodgovernment.org/#event-timeline) we demand a swift and
appropriate response to Director Comey’s dismissal - including the
appointment of independent special counsel and the establishment of an
independent investigatory committee.
